hijacking plane

During the migration crisis at the Belarusian-Polish border, Polish special services met a Belarusian migrant who worked as an air traffic controller at Minsk Airport. It was him who revealed the details of the forced landing of the Ryanair plane on which opposition blogger Raman Pratasevich and his friend Sofia Sapega were flying, the New York Times reports.

Belarusian Foreign Minister Uladzimir Makey has told the Russian Kommersant about the incident with the plane, confrontation with the West, and integration with Russia.

Franak Vyachorka, an international affairs advisor to Belarusian opposition leader Svyatlana Tsikhanouskaya, passed his opinion on the possible purpose of recently hijacking the Ryanair flight.

On May 27, the G7 Foreign Ministers of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States of America and the High Representative of the European Union issued a joint statement regarding the recent diversion of the Ryanair carrier by the Lukashenka and framing two passengers by Belarusian security officers at Minsk Airport.
